Gov. Deval Patrick On Possible Attorney General Job: ‘It’s Not What I’m Looking For’

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick was asked about how he’d feel about being Attorney General Deval Patrick. Interested in finishing his second term, Patrick said he simply isn’t interested.

“It sounds like a fantasy, I guess,” he told the Boston Herald. “It’s not going to happen.”

Patrick added that he wants to finish his second term as governor. “It’s not what I’m looking for,” he said.

Patrick served as assistant attorney general under President Bill Clinton from 1994 to 1997. A decade later, he was elected governor of Massachusetts, succeeding Mitt Romney‘s tenure. Throughout the 2012 election cycle, Patrick was a vocal supporter of President Barack Obama.
